This image was set-up or rather staged as whilst I was at the U19s Lionesses game I asked the two Manchester City players, the team I support and players I knew to pose for a photo at FT. The reason for this being they are club team mates, they are playing for England together and also they had just qualified for the U19s Women’s Euros. This image portrays a friendship and sense of excitement from two young players working their way up the ladder in professional women’s football.

This is an angled image of Lily Murphy post-match in the team huddle. The image I took was from a slightly raised height and emphasises her concentration and focus. This image fits quite nicely into the story of the U19s qualifying for the Womens Euros as it shows her appreaciation for her coach, who she is listening to in the photo and also a moment of reflection of all her and her teams hard work. I paticular like this angle as it is framed between the gap of two players and adds a different point of view and visual for the person looking at the image.
